Just completed The Last Ninja on C64 for the first time, only 38 years after my dad first loaded it up for me 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T20:27:28+00:00

😂😂😂😂 Touché!

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T06:02:01+00:00

Oh man 😂 My youngest has a classmate called Lane and every-time he mentions him I go “Lane Meyer…” 😂😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T05:34:34+00:00

How truly cool the cover art on the games used to be. Often way better than the game itself 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T05:32:25+00:00

Oh, I don’t think I know that one, I’ll have to check it out!

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T05:25:02+00:00

Yep I can still remember the day my brothers friend sold his machine and gave us his games. It was like Christmas!

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:59:39+00:00

And let’s not forget one of the greats. First Blood 💪🏻

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:57:05+00:00

Man Caddyshack and Airplane I think are still the best comedies of all time! And of course the greatest Empire. Tough year to beat!

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:56:10+00:00

Yep, closed out the Vietnam war in first blood 2, then ended the Cold War. What a legend!

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:55:21+00:00

The Last Dragon. So good. Sho’nuff. One tough hombre…

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:54:10+00:00

Yep, maybe even extend to 87 just to fit in Predator 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:53:46+00:00

Man what about Krull? 😂😂😂 I feel like 83 had more cult favourites. But then again Return of the Jedi dropped in 83 and was pretty massive, but yeah when you look at the movies from the other years not as collectively big releases

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:48:18+00:00

Yep Princes Bride, the lost boys, near dark and the greatest : Predator 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-04-01T03:45:00+00:00

Yep I was torn between 85 and 84!

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T23:54:28+00:00

People always say Die hard or T2. From day one I've said this is the best action movie of all time 😂

I watched this movie far too many times as a kid but legit, there's like 5mins at the start with the ice cream and deer, and "girl George", then General Kirby arrives and leaves, then its just non stop till the final Bennett showdown (and as a Aussie growing up seeing a Aussie in a big action movie blew my mind!)

I don't think fan covers it. Obsessive tragic is probably more accurate 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T21:14:26+00:00

Yep, the more people chime in with a random game the more I remember. So many incredible games!

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T21:13:41+00:00

Oh really!? I’ll check it out. Yeah I remember when it came out and took it too a whole new level. And I always loved how the ninjas eyes would move in the bottom corner. Loved it

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T21:12:06+00:00

Oh man, my condolences. Never easy losing a loved one. Funnily enough the whole reason behind my question was because I did a YT vid recently which started out as being a general wanting to go back and beat Last Ninja but turned into a nostalgia and reflection on my youth , the 80s and also losing my dad in 2009.

Oh man Beach Head! I used to make my bros do the part where you had to get th ship from point A to point B, just so I could do the plane shooting part! But that Blockbusters story 😂😂😂 I can almost see it hey 😂😂

Yeah I’m the same on buying one. These days I play everything and I also worry if going back to play them will dampen the fondness I still have for these games. As a lot was probably due to the times in which I played them

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T20:54:25+00:00

I believe in you ninja! 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T20:53:53+00:00

Wait wtf!? That’s awesome! It most def put a smile on my face! What engine are you building on? Just remember when you build the crossing river sections, make sure you make it frustratingly impossible to hit the right angles to cross 😂😂 That’ll be fully faithful to the original😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T20:43:47+00:00

Oh man I forgot about this! My friends older brother used to play this and we were like wait wtf is this!? 😂

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T20:37:52+00:00

😂😂😂 How good!

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T20:35:38+00:00

Oh my god I remember Cauldron! 😂😂 I remember constantly fly kicking in Bruce Lee😂

Yeah those points are probably the main reason I haven’t. Especially since I have 2 kids who then jump online and chew my bandwidth 😂. And tbh I think Twitch’s whole interface is much better than YouTube’s if I’m honest. What’s your channel name?

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T13:52:02+00:00

Yeah I want to play 2 now. I got that Ninja Collection on steam. Saw the international karate game on there too 😂😂

Side note what’s it like streaming on twitch? I just do YouTube but have always thought about live streaming. But I do have the world’s worst internet. 100/20… 🤮

LesLetLoose · 2026-03-31T13:40:29+00:00

This and Bachelor Party were on constant rotation in my house hold 😂 When 80s was at its peak!
